Has anyone grown Brazilian cubes here? I started with a syringe of them and have no clue how they compare with the other kinds.

They'll grow just like cubes. 
Select the nicest, print the caps and start clone cultures from the stems. Then eat them.

Braszil is a very common cube for beginners. Im growing some ATM. If you read any of this thread you would realize that its not going to matter what strain you grow they are all pretty much going to perform the same. There is no special strain for yield or potency or large shrooms or whatever other characteristic you are looking for. To obtain this you cant just buy a syringe with said traits you are going to have to isolate and go through trial and error to find the isolate with the traits you are looking for

I was more focused on things like looks, cap size, etc.(I've only ever seen one picture of them matured) And difficulty to grow. But you've answered one of those questions.

They look like a cube and cap size depends on the genetic's and your growing skill and substrate
Look in grow logs i gaurantee there is at least 50 brazil grow logs

In here I clicked mushroom grow logs and typed in brazil under words and got 7 pages of brazil grow logs. I wanted to give you the link but i can only link you to the search page not to a results page. Try it its easy and fun and any question you have ever thought of asking has already been asked 100 times

Brazil works fine:

...just like any other cube. You can end up with weak or strong growth depending on the genetic lottery.
Good luck,

thanks for the pic. I couldn't find any good ones as most were deleted.

Just curious as to see how the Ban Hua Thanon strain is. Should be harvestin' shortly and wanted to know if it really is super potent like I've read.

Thai cubes have a good reputation.

So if a cube is a cube is a cube, and I'm growing gt, meckanaii, and B+... how will I be able to tell them apart?
Is there any real traits that any of these strains have besides how much yield per harvest, strength of high, etc etc. I know nothing but what I read, and what I'm staring at, and if i didn't know any better I'd say it doesn't matter what name is on the syringe you get, its all about the family tree and isolating the best performers to to create the next generation.
Am I crazy, right on track, a lost lil noob?
Thanks everyone!!!!

Yes I know what cakes are and my jars are/were labeled. My cohort and I are just not seeing much difference between the cakes outside of couple oddball growths.
What differences should we be looking for on the mushrooms? I want to be able to iso the best out of each strain to keep the dream alive. So I would like to know what traits these strains should be known for and\or what traits I should be looking for so that I'm not just printing random\crap mush.

There are no identifying characteristics of each strain. Thats what has been said over and over again in this thread. You isolate for the traits you want from each strain. Size, potency, yield, clusters whatever. You can pretty much get whatever trait you are looking for from each syringe.

So why do Thai shrooms have a good name? How do you tell your mexican shrooms from the golden teachers? How can you catch a vendor selling you three syringes full of the same thing?
It all cant be just trial and error? Can It?

Its highly unlikely any person can tell one cube from another. There are some exceptions of this. The albino's, PE strains, some cube's produce red spores. The reason vendors sell this is because noobs come in asking whats the most potent shrooms out there or the highest yielder or whatever and some next noob will answer there question with this one or that one. When in all actuallity any cube can have the traits you are looking for thru isolation.
It is all thru trial and error. You will get so many isolates from an ms inoculation and then you have to go thru all the isolates looking for the trait you are looking for

Truly thank you, that clears up a lot of questions. I can't wait!!!!

OK, we discussed that amongst ourselves and came to a conclusion.

Nah, partial BS. Vendors have little to do with it, I've been growing cubes and others since before the internet was even a gleam in Al Gore's eye. I came up with some mutant strains back in the day - and fresh starts from spores from them would reproduce the parent's traits. Certainly there are strains with reproducible phenotypes that are distinguishable - nobody gets PE mutants from B+, SFAIK.
Most of the isolates cluster around similar characteristics, if the strain has undergone genetic selection.hat's why people who grow them get similar results. These are just little tweaks on the basic habits of the cubes, and perfectly normal; like if you grow most crops and you select seeds from the ones with the traits you like the best and grow those again, eventually you end up with distinct phenotypes. All crops were domesticated in just this way, over time.
Potency or "trip quality" is another ball of wax, but since that's apparently a phenotype as well and under the same kind of genetic control it ought to respond to the same kind of selection. IME it does. Ask again in a hundred years and see if there aren't some genuine "super strains" out there, just like with weed, just like with the grass you plant for a lawn, just like tomatoes.
Of course in another sense, say compared to Ps. cyan or semilanceata, indeed, a is just a .
